Since the beginning of the Ukrainian invasion, we have seen a renaissance of innovation making threats to operational technology (OT) systems more streamlined than ever before. Such activity is reflected in a quick turnaround in the development of malware and capabilities to target OT systems. In this talk, I will provide an overview of the evolution of OT threats since the eve of Ukraine’s invasion and discuss its implications for defenders. Among other topics, I will share recent findings about documentation hinting on Russia’s development of OT cyber capabilities, and newly disclosed OT malware families such as INCONTROLLER, INDUSTROYER.V2 and COSMICENERGY.
